{jev} is a verb, like all other verbs describing weather. {SuS'a'} "strong wind" might work.
Now, you say "in the storm", so it's a location. Then you need the type 5 locative suffix {-Daq}. You can read about that one in TKD 3.3.5.

  SuS'a'Daq jach puqpu'
  In the strong wind, children scream.
(perhaps some people can argue if one can stand "in" the wind.)

I'm not sure about what you want to say, but there is something missing here.
You can say this in two ways, with {'oy'} as a verb, and as a noun.
There is a suffix meaning "because of, due to" {-mo'}. When it is a verb suffix, it's type 9. As a noun suffix, it's type 5. (please note: this 
is an exception, not all verb suffixes can be used on nouns. But I guess you've seen that already ;-)

   'oy'Hommo' bep be'Hom
"because of the small ache the girl complains"

or (as a verb):

   'oy'mo' bep be'Hom
"because she aches the girl complains"

But remember:
   loQ 'oy'DI' bepbe' SuvwI'
   A warrior does not complain about physical discomfort. (TKW)

No, because you didn't get the correct meanings.
- Suv is a verb, "to fight", not "a fight". There's a word for "battle": {may'}
- Hach is "be developed", used like an adjective

But the {Solqoq} is correct! So your grammar is correct - again - you only need to practice the vocabulary a little. But I'm sure you will also 
manage that. You learn well.
